The Missouri Department of Transportation urges drivers to plan ahead and check road conditions before traveling.  The latest road conditions are available on the Traveler Information Map. The map shows routes in different colors ranging from clear, to partially covered, covered or closed to travel.  Travelers can also call MoDOT’s toll-free number, 888-ASK-MODOT, to get road condition information.

Road Clearing Priorities During the Storm:

-- MoDOT crews will focus continuous attention on major roads, including interstates, U.S. routes and locally important highways. Expect more snow to remain on ramps than on the main highway lanes and adjust your speed when leaving the highway.

-- MoDOT trucks also will plow lesser traveled routes, although some of these roads may be plowed only once or twice during a 12-hour period. Material used on two-lane rural roads will include a mixture of salt and small rock to help provide traction, particularly on hills and curves.

-- State roads will NOT be completely cleared until after the storm passes through the region. Major roads may be cleared within several hours. It may take several days before the lesser traveled roads are cleared.
